Network card: 3COM 3C905C-TXM EtherLink10/100PCI
Main board: Intel 82801BA (problem tested in another machine)
Processor: PIII/800
Kernel sources cvsupped from cvsup.hu.freebsd.org at 07/31/2001

>Description:

In this machine when we configure the xl0 device (3com Etherlink), the processor usage go up, the whole system extremly slow down. In other cases the systemi just hang up, and we can do only cold reboot.  

The card with other OSs (like linux) works fine. The problem only exists in FreeBSD.

 Try adding an appropriate 'media' option, like:
 
 ifconfig_xl0="inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy media 10baseT"
 
 ..or 'media 100baseTX' as appropriate.
 
 I, too, have noticed that some xl cards have great trouble autonegotiating
 with some brands of switches under FreeBSD.
 
 G'luck,
 Peter

 Thanks, the network card works fine with the 10baseTX/UTP media label. We
 think, documenting the 3com vs. media type change solution is a good idea. 
 
 Best regards,
 Tonyo
